So I’m going to be kicking off a game soon. Are people just using the suggested kick off in the book with the meeting with Baz or doing something different?

The kickoff in the book has worked really well for me. Might be weird if your crew is a cult, but otherwise? Good stuff.
One thing I like about the setup is it is about the context, not about your new crew. A war is brewing, both sides are recruiting, and they care much less about what you do on your own time and much more about whether you’re an asset or a target in the conflict.
Then in the background, the Crows, struggling to keep cohesion and out of position to be the usual peace broker. So there’s room for non-linear thinking for the connivers, diplomacy for the strategic, and displaced protections for the opportunistic.
I’ve used the setup 3 times now, and then did my pa thing from there. It created 3 different awesome games.
It’s a great first setup, and i have used it twice
I also tried using my own setup, which was basically a reskin of the text, and it worked well too
I used the establishment for the context of the district and their environment, but we did not use the storyline itself. It actually created a thing that I do now, which is every session I have a small introduction usually a camera cut of a different scene of something happening in the city or the district, this establishing shot basically frames the current timeframe (the current week or so) that their characters are in and lets me progress the city around them. We’ve had newspaper stories with dead bodies escalating to a demon on the lose, quarantied districts with lighting fencing, and spirit wardens and hunters coming in to solve the problem. If anything it gave me good direction on how I like to frame my sessions.
